I graduated with a Computer Engineering degree, which is just CS with a bunch of Electrical Engineering mixed in.

On that note, I "specialize" in embedded programming, which is writing programs on bare metal (or near bare metal). Apparently I hear this is a rather "secure" programming career locally because you can't really outsource embedded programming if you want your stuff to work as you want it to in the environments you expect. In a manner of speaking. Or it could just be where I work that this is the case (I do training systems). While you should go with what you want, I must warn you that while Applications Programming (which is making programs in a userland space, like an OS or something) is in fair demand, it's also one I feel has too much supply.

But it really depends on the work you do. As mentioned, I do training systems, which very few others do or can do. So Applications, Embedded, I think there's a fair bit of job security in "niche" areas like this.

If I were you I would rethink ITT unless you're in a big hurry. You can get a 4 year college degree much more affordable than going to ITT for a couple of years. I received a BS in Mechanical Engineering and had other friends that graduated from ITT that took out loans doubling what I paid for tuition. There are a lot of good schools out there. Good luck in your search.
